The issue of Rey’s parentage in the Star Wars sequel trilogy has already been asked and answered, but it seems there’s more still to come in the upcoming saga finale.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will dig more into not only Rey’s history, but who she is right now. Which presumably ties into that creepy shot of her in the new trailer looking all villain-y.
Speaking to Empire for their new issue’s excellent TROS special, writer Chris Terrio teased: “We kept coming back to ‘Who is Rey?’, and how can we give the most satisfying answer to that not only factually – because obviously people are interested in whether there’s more to be learned of Rey’s story – but more importantly who is she as a character?
“How will she find the courage and will and inner strength and power to carry on what she’s inherited?”
Another question we’ll get answered – or at least explored in more detail – is “how strong is the Force?”
Terrio added: “[‘How strong is the Force?’] sounds a little simple, but actually when you get down to it, that is a sort of Zen Koan that we would really meditate on – not literally in yoga poses or anything, but like we would discuss, ‘What is the Force and how strong is the Force?’”
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is out in December and if we’re taking cues from The Last Jedi, we could be due a new trailer later this month ?
